Jordan names new anti-ISIL airstrike operation after murdered pilot

Jordan has upheld its promise of revenge against ISIL after the militant group immolated a captured pilot, unleashing a wave of airstrikes named after the murdered soldier.

Matching the jihadists' own propaganda efforts, Jordan has released a video showing the launch of fighter jets emblazoned with anti-ISIL slogans and passages from the Koran.

In an extra gesture to demonstrate the nation's increased commitment to the war against ISIL, the revenge airstrikes have been dubbed Operation Martyr Moaz, after Lieutenant Moaz al-Kaseasbeh, who was burned alive in a cage in ISIL's latest horrific video.
